Benchmark results for Gears of War E-Day on Unreal Engine 5 at 2560x1440 with max settings show NVIDIA GPUs delivering far higher FPS than AMD Radeon cards, with RTX 5090 ~51 FPS (min 44) and RTX 4090 ~38 FPS, while AMD RX 7900 XTX ~21 FPS (min 16), RX 9070 XT ~22 FPS (min 18), and mid/low-end RDNA2 cards around 12–14 FPS (6750 XT ~9 FPS), meaning native 1440p playability is not achieved on current Radeon GPUs.
Halo: Campaign Evolved, moving from Slipspace to Unreal Engine 5, runs on an RTX 5090 at 1440p Ultra around 90–100 FPS (about 120 FPS only in interior areas). This underlines that even the top consumer GPU isn’t delivering 100+ FPS consistently at this resolution on launch, and higher targets like 4K 60 will likely require upscaling or future engine optimizations. The game uses an older UE5 build lacking newer features like Lumen 60, with a July 28 release date noted.
Digital Foundry shows Pragmata on PS5 can render at 1440p on a base PS5 by starting on a PS5 Pro and then transferring a cloud save back to the base console. The stock PS5 runs 1080p with FSR 1 upscaling to output a higher resolution, while the 1440p route delivers noticeably better visuals at the cost of frame rate (e.g., 57fps at 1080p vs 42fps at 1440p in similar scenes) and tighter frame-times. VRR isn’t available system-wide, so performance can suffer during dips; 120Hz VRR with low-framerate compensation would help. Capcom has not officially added 1440p and may patch it out; to revert, delete the Pro-injected save. This is an experimental, unsupported workaround and not recommended for a full playthrough.
